1964 Map of Carterville

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Leaf River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, its banks dotted with named oxbows and inlets like Aldrich Lake and Owens Bluff Lake. The arrival of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad near the Hattiesburg Municipal Airport signals the mid-century industrial expansion of the region. This 1964 survey captures a moment when rural communities like Carterville and Sunrise maintained their local identities through centralized landmarks such as the Sunrise Sch and various country parishes, including Mt Vernon Ch and Corinth Ch. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Greens Creek and Reese Creek, while industrial activity is evidenced by multiple Gravel Pits and the Petal Waterworks, reflecting a landscape balancing natural water resources with suburban and logistical growth.
